1/2 cup lentils
1 #303 can tomatoes (I use a quart of home bottled tomatoes)

1/4 tsp. thyme
1 can consommé

Chop--or cut all vegetables in small pieces

Cover--with 6 cups water and the Consommé
Simmer--1 1/2 hours then
Add--lentils, carrots, potatoes, tomatoes and continue to simmer for 1 hour or until meat and veggies are done

I often leave out potatoes and lentils and add things from the garden like: corn, green beans, shredded cabbage, zucchini, yellow squash. Also good with a leek.
